Dream Car! PICTURES!!!

[Brutus Brewer]

The Cobra is my dream car as well...

I actually have two of them... on my desk at work

I do happen to have a coworker who has built one, and he also built one of these (Rally Fighter):

The Rally Fighter isn't my dream car, but it *IS* pretty damn cool.

The company I work for makes some of the rubber seals for the Local Motors cars.

Definitely first in my book:

Second. An old coworker a beautiful all-OEM (although not all original) one sitting in his garage.

Also I was in the US headquarters of VW one day (in Herndon VA), and they had one of these in the lobby (this appears to be that same lobby). Although I believe the one at the time was blue. I didn't have a camera on me at the time or I would have grabbed a photo.

There's a white (it's actually pearl) one that I've seen driving down chain bridge road. I've been told there are 3 in our area.... and the Aston Martin dealership off of rt. 7 is rumored to be working on getting a bugatti franchise.

There's a red one owned by some guy out in Loudoun County. I've seen one or two others. Even for Northern Virginia that's a pricy machine.

I believe it... Loudon county was voted the richest county in america....

You would be surprised the amount of people making 30+ grand a month in this area..... sadly not I.

These have always been a guilty pleasure for me!

Just can't seem to shake the R8...

I am totally on board with the R8 its an amazing car.

Funny story last year I was driving to the Humboldt Home Brewers festival, I was driving behind an R8 I was in my 528I and I was pushing him like CRAZY not really to be pushing but to just look at it more than anything. If any of you know that road it is nothing but curves baby! A blast to drive (IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE SWMBO IN THE CAR) So I guess he had enough of me riding his ass because he took off like a rocket! I was still on him but dropped back a bit because of the speeds. At one point we were flying into 30 MPH corners at 60-70-80 I was at full drift and he was tight almost like he just toying with me. We passed 5-6 cars reached 110-120 MPH and just getting it on. We came up and passed a WRX STI and he jumped in behind us. We were FLYING! This R8 was on fire from where I was sitting but also almost seemed to be board with the cat n mouse. He jumped on it and really pushed I started to fall back farther and farther and within about 1 min I couldn't see the R8 anywhere. I am not sure if the STI just fell off but I did everything I could to catch the R8 and the STI was nowhere! I was exhausted by the time I realized I wasn't catching himr and fell off myself. MY GOD that was a flipping blast.

Cheers
Jay

Yeah R8' s are sick.... Just stupid expensive to own between the brakes and oil consumption (that's all Audi' s though ... at least the oil consumption part

Several we've had over the past 15 years. The PT Cruiser was a real "dream car" for me - said if they ever had it at 0%/60 months - I'd buy one! They did, and I did.

Right now I'm coveting a UTV. Not sure which one yet though.

My friends RZR was nuts.... I should of bought it. That thing went up and through so much **** that looked impossible it isn't even funny. Put a front and back winch + led light bar and your golden.

 

[hausofstrauss]

There are many cars on my list, but this one was just announced today. The E39 M5 is still my favorite looking however.

Somewhat attainable when I have time to work on it.

Always remains high on my list

 

[finsfan]

Well my new first one is now the same as headbangers. That thing is ridiculous. :rockin:

Ive had the pleasure of driving James Marsden's Bently with a v12 and mink floor mats, but not sure id ever want one.

Here are some others. I would change the wheels on the camaro, but damn! IF you havent, look up the lamborghini reventon, its insane. And honestly, who doesnt like the H1's? I watched the gray one on Ebay for awhile. IT was a little out of my price range

 

[Zuljin]

I'm not a big car guy, but those Corvettes that look like Corvettes are nice.

Car: AMC Eagle Wagon AWD

Truck: Dodge Lil Red Express Truck

Motorcycle: Victory Boardwalk

 

[Jaybird]

I think if this was ONLY rear wheel drive it would be on the top of my list..OR AT LEAST 2nd..LOL

We used to have an Audi A4, man was that thing ever a piece of junk.

 

[jcoxen]

Here's my dream. I had a '74 back before I got married. If I could find an '85 I'd be very tempted.

 

[gratus fermentatio]

Legacy Dodge Power Wagon 4 door

 

[finsfan]

That power wagon is sick! Im added that and the nissan Gt R to my ever growing list. SWMBO's parents own car dealerships and they have a white Gt R that's been in their showroom for almost a year. If only I had $100,000 to drop on it

 

[gratus fermentatio]

The 4 door Legacy Power Wagon starts at $179,950.00

Worth it. They are just incredible.

Love that Powerwagon!

There are WAY too many cool cars to pick just one. That said, I have had a HardOn™ for Mustangs since time before memory. As a youngster I sometimes would draw the very early 65-66 mustang. I had no reason to know why I liked them, but I did. I just thought they looked awesome.

A few years back I spent the money to buy an old Mustang. It is a 1969 Hardtop (The "fastbacks" are actually called Sportroofs) and it was a plain jane I250 with a 3-speed and more rust than I knew.

It's currently sitting on blocks in the garage. At least, what's not stashed upstairs in the garage! It's ONLY sheetmetal at this time, with the windshield and back window. The engine compartment has been patched and welded, and I'm currently starting back to work on her this spring. Still have floorpans to weld in and then back to the trunk, quarters, and wheelw wells.

The plan is a resto-mod in gun metal silver with standard hood scoop, chin spoiler, rear spoiler, and Shelby convertible side scoops (To replace the awful stock side scoops on that year.

Here is my car at the place I bought her, and also something similar to what I envision, except I am undecided on the wheels and the rear spoiler. And I really don't want a black car that I have to wash CONSTANTLY.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I bought a used 351W to replace the worn out, smoking I6, and when I mic'ed it up it was still in factory tolerance. Paid $150 for the engine and tranny and since the trannys was a truck tranny, I sold it for $75. So I got the motor for $75.

So here are a couple more I am adding to my list. I was down visiting a friend in Florida a few weeks back and he has a Ferrari dealership near his house. On one of my many trips past the dealership I spotted a beautiful 438 Spider and fell in love!

Ferrari 438 Spider

And when I was looking the 438 up I came across this Ferarri hybrid called LaFerrari

 

[xxmetalhead89xx]

Since I was about 7 or 8 I've wanted an El Camino, primarily '71, still hunting for the right one at a price I could afford


Or a '48 Willys JEEP, had one a few years back that I was restoring.
But had to sell when SWMBO got preggers

 

[solbes]

I was gonna post a pick of a Veyron, but it's already here.

We were in Miami on a business trip down near Biscayne Bay. Right behind one in the left turn lane. We were in a Chrysler Pacifica 4.0, lol. I told our friend to punch it and see how it went. That Veyron was a spec on the horizon in no time at all. Was really cool to see a $1.7 Million dollar car punch it.

And when I was looking the 438 up I came across this Ferarri hybrid called LaFerrari

OMG that is flippen KILLER!

How would you like to replace or even have to fix one of those doors.....DAMN!!!

I would LOVE to see the Spec Sheet on that bad boy!
